[Verse 1]
Beware of night for we all know he's loose again
Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair
Forever living out his nightmare come to life
From Hell, this spell will find it's way to you
Tonight
Tonight

[Verse 2]
A thousand cries are heard, they echo in the wind
And still the rider will unleash his chosen sin
The victims of his rage are soldiers of his mind
His scream will heed the call of those who stand behind

[Chorus]
The nightrider sails away
The nightrider sails
Yeah

[Verse 3]
By day the rider will have vanished from all eyes
Seen from within the only answer to him lies
But as the rays of light begin to fade away
The rider will return to carry out his stay

[Chorus]
The nightrider sails away
The nightrider sails
Yeah
[Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo]

[Outro]
Beware of the night
Beware of the night
Beware of the night
Oh god, beware of the night
